It’s Getting Real

Time to buckle in, because it’s about to get real.

I’m talking real life, real. With all the pain, messiness, heartbreak, happiness, healing, and inspiration.

You may have noticed that I have let my blog expand and explore pretty much all the avenues of life. I have fun sharing posts with you about my home décor and DIY projects, my travels, new recipes, and recently – fashion.

Since this is my happy place in the online world, I thought I would expand it and talk a little bit more about the messiness and emotional side of life.

Basically, I’m letting my heart lead this blog. I love sharing all the fun projects, food, fashion, and travels, but my heart has been on another journey this past year.

The journey of having your life completely change by going through a divorce, starting over on my own, dealing with heartbreak, starting dating, and looking at the world in a completely different light.

I have, and continue to, learn so much from all these events. I have grown in ways that I never even imagined in my life. It makes me so grateful for all the twists and turns life has thrown me because it has made me stronger, better, more resilient.

Even if you aren’t going through a divorce, or if you are (bless you, I feel your pain) the things I am learning I feel could be so helpful to many of you out there, no matter what circumstances life is throwing your way.

Throughout my struggle I have turned to various blogs and articles online and found so much inspiration and healing – or just someone who gets it and feels my pain.

That has helped me SO MUCH, and I thought that if I could do that for someone else too, then all the pain would be worth it.

I’m looking at trying out a new schedule: Tuesdays will be my home/fashion/food/travel time to post and Thursdays will be my life posts. Some weeks will have both, some weeks will have one, some weeks may have none (I’ll try to avoid this one though).

I thought having this schedule may help those of you who aren’t as interested in the life stuff and want just the other fun stuff. We will see how it goes. But let me tell you, I am SO excited to share all the meaty life lessons that I have been learning, and I really hope you like them too!
